Hello, With any luck at all, my husband and I are going to New Hampshire in a couple weeks, to see the Old Fort #4 and cemetery in Langdon where my ancestors, Lemuel Royce and his wife are buried. My question is if the Fort is opened every day, or are there limited hours. And is the cemetery in Langdon hard to find. I'm not sure which one he is in. And would there be additional records I might be able to search, if I know that my 3rd great grandparents were married in the Old Fort. I've already written to the state and received the marriage certificate, but it didn't have any information on it. I'm looking for James Bacon, born in Massachusetts in 1802, and his family. I know where the family went after their marriage, but am lost on him before their marriage. Many thanks. Claudia Garner Wakeman, OH birdie@accnorwalk.com

I apologize for posting my message to William to the list. It was intended to go only to him. Thank you. -- K. O'Brien

William I would be able to search for your great-grandfather in the 1880 census for a specified state, but note that I can only do this if he had children age 10 and under at the time. Only heads of household who meet that requirement are included in the index. If you are not interested in a paid service, you may want to delete this message now. I can search the Soundex (the index to the Census) for your ancestors in the 1880, 1900, 1910 or 1920 Federal Census for *ANY* state requested. (Note that the 1910 Soundex is only available for the following 21 states: AL, AR, CA, FL, GA, IL, KS, KY, LA, MI, MS, MO, NC, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, and WV. The 1880 Soundex only includes households with children age 10 and under, and no records are available for 1890.) If the search is successful, you will receive a form which includes all of the information found in the Soundex. In addition to the family's place of residence, the following information will be listed for each family member: name, age, month and year of birth (1900 Soundex only), birthplace (state or country), relationship to head of household, and citizenship. (Other details included in the complete Census record, such as occupations, whether owned or rented, literacy, etc., are not included.) Simply provide the following information (numbered as below, please) for each search: 1. Census year (1880, 1900, 1910 or 1920). 2. State (include county and/or town, if known). You must specify the state in which to search, as there is a separate Soundex for each state. 3. Soundex code for surname (see below). 4. Name of head of household (include state or country of birth and date of birth, if known). 5. Name of spouse (include state or country of birth, and date of birth, if known). 6. Names of children or other family members expected in the household (include state or country of birth and dates of birth for each, if known). Please provide full names, if possible, as individuals are often listed by initials or middle names. The birth information is important too, as it will help to identify the correct family. If you do not know the Soundex code for the surname, use the conversion program at this site: http://events.genealogy.org/soundex.html The fees for searches are as follows: 1: $2.50; 2 to 3: $5.00; 4 to 6: $10.00; 7 or more: please inquire for pricing. (Note: each head of household in each Census year counts as one search.) Mail your order and payment (check or money order made payable to Kerry O'Brien), to: K. O'Brien 12728 W. 108th St. Overland Park, KS 66210-1106 Be sure to list all 6 items above for each search requested. Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your order. You will receive the results within two or three weeks.

<A HREF="http://www.valley.net/~connriver/N06-17.htm">Charlestown Main Street Historic District</A> Johnson House, (east side of Main Street). 1752 and later, Contributing. A 1-1/2 story frame and clapboard structure with a low, broad gable front, measuring three bays wide. the subject of numerous additions over the years. The central entrance is marked by an enclosed porch with doublehung 2/2 windows framed by corner posts set above a low clapboarded wall supporting a vertical flushboard pediment. The five-panel door is surrounded by sidelights and transom lights with an outer paneled surround decorated by cornerblocks. Windows contain 2/2 doublehung sash flanked by blinds, a paired set of windows and a single unit on the north side. The asphalt gable roof is punctuated by a central shed dormer on each slope. Offset to the north east is a 1-1/2 story ell with a secondary entrance marked by a pedimented hood on brackets on its facade. A pedimented dormer above contains a pair of windows. Extending behind the ell and set at right angles is a single-story clapboarded addition with an entrance on the south side. The enclosed porch and dormers are twentieth century additions. 1A. Outbuilding, c. 1800, Contributing. Northeast of the house is a clapboarded outbuilding with a standing seam, metal gable roof and a sliding door. Its close eaves and doublehung 12/12 windows suggest a relatively early date of construction. This property is significant locally as the site of the Johnson Cabin from which the family was taken captive by the Indians, August 30, 1754, and taken to Canada. Its history is so indicated by a stone marker with bronze tablet erected by the D.A.R. in 1927. The present house was reportedly built around the original log cabin. The original Johnson cabin door, complete with what is reportedly an Indian's hatchet mark, was given by the D.A.R. to the Fort 4 Associates and is on exhibit at Fort #4. Also worthy of note is an early brickyard which was once located north of this house and furnished the brick for many of the buildings along Main Street. <A HREF="http://www.valley.net/~connriver/N06-17.htm">Charlestown Main Street Historic District</A> Willard House, (southeast corner Main and Elm Streets), c. 1770-1790, A clapboarded 2-1/2 story structure situated above a stone block foundation and set broadside to the street. It is capped by a low pitch gable roof with eaves flush with the sidewalls. The paired central entrances feature individual door frames with recessed panels, cornerblocks and peaked lintels. Each contains a six-panel door framed by full sidelights. These doorways were added c.1839 when the structure was converted to a two-family house. Windows contain primarily doublehung 2/2 sash (not original) with lip lintels and blinds. Centered on each of the side elevations is a panel door with a plain surround and lip lintel. A blind window is located above. Extending behind is a single-story ell, a recent addition, (c. 1980) containing two garage openings and a recessed entrance in the northeast corner. This house is on the original grant of Lieutenant Moses Willard who came to Charlestown in 1742. It is not clear whether the house dates to the earliest period of settlement, or whether this house was preceded by an earlier house.31 This house is one of the earliest structures in the town center, its age indicated by the gentle slope of the gable roof and lack of projecting eaves. Over the years it has housed a tavern, store, storage place for wool, and residence and was converted to a two-family house c. 1839. Today it houses offices and apartments upstairs.

Henry H. Saunder- son - printed at Claremont, NH 1876 p.707-709 CEMETERIES The proprietors of No. 4 at a meeting legally held May 1, 1751 "Voted that Capt Stevens, Capt. Spafford and John Hastings be a Committee to purchase of the owners of some lands or house lotts where they shall think best for a burying place; or if they cannot purchase said lands then to pitch upon and buy out a burying place otherwhere where they shall think most convenient." Previous to this time the dead had been principally interred on "Burying Hill," as it was called, which was the ground lying between the present South Parish Meeting House Lot and the opposite side of the street. On this little rise, formerly much higher than now, those who had fallen in defence of the place, or had died of sickness, had found burial. It had been voted by the proprietors to build their Church there, and near the Church, in accordance with the old New England custom, was the appropriate place for the dead to rest. Many were buried there, among whom we may number nearly all the defenders of No. 4, who fell in the first Indian War. It was the design of the inhabitants to purchase of the owners the front part of some house-lots lying contiguous to that spot, but probably their committee failed in their endeavor and therefore located their burying-ground where the old portion of the Cemetery is now. It appears that the Committee did little more than to select the grounds and purchase them, for we hear nothing more of the Burying Ground before 1763 in which year the town voted that it should be fenced. After securing their new grounds, Burying Hill ceased to be used for purposes of interment, and the remains of those who had been buried there were ultimately removed to the new spot. Their number must have been considerable, but I find no stone erected to the memory of a single one of those first victims of war and sacrifice. The living had too much to do to defend themselves to have time to devote to the preparation of monuments for the perpetuation of the memory of those who had fallen. So they rest with graves unmarked. There are a number of stones in the old portion of the Cemetery without any inscriptions. It is probable that some of these mark the resting-places of persons who were slain or died of disease in the first decade of the settlement; and there can be little doubt that the spaces in the "Old Grounds" that are without stones are yet thickly strown with the remains of the early inhabitants of the place. The writer (Rev. Saunderson) of this, while superintending the laying of the foundation of the "Johnson Monument," as it is called, found a rough, flatish stone about two feet below the surface, inscribed, "Ambrose Tuttel 1757." The inscription was a mere scratch, and might have been made with any sharp piece of iron, and yet it remained as plain to be read as when first put into the ground. As our excavation was only about three feet it was not deep enough to disturb any remains; but we paused as the thought came to us that all those apparently unoccupied grounds were full of secret graves. On none of the oldest stones does the date extend back beyond 1756 - sixteen years after the first settlement of the place. There are several that bear date 1757, and from that time the number yearly, especially subsequent to 1760 had a rapid increase till considerable numbers were erected with each succeeding year. To the old Cemetery there have, within a very recent period, been two additions: the one, on the west, extending it to East Street, the other, on the north em- bracing all the grounds to their present limits. The earliest burials in the first portion were in 1836, and there were none in the last till quite a number of years later. The improvements in the Cemetery which now render it so pleasant, are of comparatively recent date, having been made within the last quarter of a century; and owe their inception to Henry Hubbard, Jr. Esq., who, many will regret to learn died at his home in Bedford, VA June 11, 1876. A call for a public meeting at the hotel was made Feb 7, 1853, signed by Mrs. J. DeForest Richards, Mrs. Emily A. Olcott and Mrs. J. J. Gilchrist, in which an invitation was extended to all citizens and ladies of the place to assemble at a public tea party, and take into consideration the subject of improving the grounds of the Cemetery, and to devise means and take measures therefor. This resulted in a very large attendance, who were fully united in the object in view; and a Committee was appointed to get up a festival for the whole town on the following 4th of July, for the purpose of obtaining means for their intended improvements. At this festival four hundred dollars was the sum obtained, and the following persons were appointed a committee to expend it. Deacon Moses Putnam, Henry Hubbard, Jr., Silas P. Mack, Samuel L. Fletcher Abram D. Hull, Mrs. J. DeForest Richards, Mrs. Emily A. Olcott, Mrs. Laura Cushing, Mrs. Helen J. Tidd and Mrs. Theodosia Evans. The walks were laid out under the general direction of the committee, and the evergreens that now so pleasantly shade them were set out by their mutual agreeement. Abram D. Hull, Esq., was employed to set out the pines, but the balsams that are seen in the yaard were set out by Deacon Moses Putnam and were brought by him from Unity. I will merely say further that the town now yearly appropriates one hundred dollars for keeping the Cemetery in order. Money was appropriated in 1870 for bringing a fountain into the enclosure and the selectmen were appointed a committee with others to do it, but for some reason not known to the writer it has never been done. CEMETERIES AT THE NORTH PART OF THE TOWN p.708 The village cemetery was the only burying place in town till 1792, at which time the town purchased and set apart for a burial place the old ground at North Charlestown. At this time members of families belonging to the north part of the town who had been buried in this cemetery, were disinterred and buried there. This continued to be the only cemetery at the north until 1852, when the present one was purchased by the town. This is a very pleasant spot of elevated ground lying about forty or fifty rods beyond the junction of the River road with the main road leading to Claremont (NH). It is pleasantly laid out and contains a fountain for which money was appropriated at the same time that the appropriation was made for the village Cemetery. The Cemetery also contains a number of quite tasteful monuments, among which we may instance those erected to Mr. Jesse and George Farwell, Eliphalet Bailey, Artimesia Westcott and John Metcalf. The Walker monument of brown-stone is also a very handsome structure. The name of the Cemetery is HOPE HILL and one hundred dollars is yearly appropriated for its care by the town. Much credit it due to Horace Metcalf, Esq., for many of the improvements connected with this pleasant cemetery. The following from the stone erected to the memory of Thomas Swan, speaks for itself: "Thomas Swan d. Nov 23d 1772 in his 28th year. Children yet unborn will reverence his name when they find by his last will he gave the town of Charlestown one hundred pounds, the interest of which to be appropriated to the sole purpose of keeping a school in that part of said town know by the name of the town plot." In connection with this gift came the Park now generally called from the donar: Swan Park. Little is known of Mr. Swan save that he was a very intelligent young merchant in Charlestown who died early. He was probably one of the younger children of Rev. Josiah Swan the 2nd minister of old Dunstable but who after leaving Dunstable became a celebrated teacher in Lancaster, Mass and in Walpole, NH. __________________________________________________________________ Transcribe by Janice Farnsworth

Boston - Biographical Review Publishing Company 1898 "Who among men art thou, and thy years how many, good friend? - Xenophanes. pp. 730 - 732 Frank B. Tilton, a well knownand prominent resident of Natick, Mass., was born March 15, 1840 at Sandown, N.H., where his father, David Tilton was a farmer and lumber dealer and manufacturer. He was educated in the public schools of San- down and at the Chester Academy, obtaining a practical knowledge of the common branches of learning. In the fall of 1862 he enlisted in the 15th New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry. The regiment was afterward ordered to New Orleans, thence up the Mississippi River to Carrollton, where it did guard duty for several weeks. Then it was ordered to the siege of Port Hudson, where it remained until the end of the service. From Port Hudson it came on transports up the Mississippi River on their way home. Afterward for a year he assisted in the management of the farm and saw-mill. Coming then to Natick, Mass., he had charge of the shipping department in a factory for eight years. In 1872 he opened a bakery in the adjoining town of Ashland but sold out and returned to Natick a year later. During the succeeding three years he worked in a factory on Howard Street, Boston. At the end of that time having familiarized himself with the details of the business, he bought out his employer and has since conducted a lucrative business. He increased the size of the plant to three times its original capacity. Mr. Tilton has exerted a good influence in local affairs serving in various town offices. He was elected to the State Legislature in 1889 and in 1890 was re-elected by a handsome majority. In 1866 he married Susan George. They had 3 chidren namely: Burton S. Tilton a resident of Cambridge, Mass; Flora Tilton who was the wife of Arthur Howe of Cochituate and Iola Tilton a stenographer who lived with her father. The mother died December 25, 1892. In November 1895 a second marriage united Mr. Tilton with Mary A.

Can any one identify the parents of Horace R. Deane (DEEN) shown below? (Desperate 2nd attempt.) 2 - HORACE R., son of ?, b. 1802 (acc. to death record) or 1811 at VT; m. to Carrie Scribner (NH Vital Records) or to Clarissa Mason (Ellen's obit.). His parentage is at present unknown. A Horace C. Dean is shown in the 1850 Census for Winnhall, Bennington Co., VT, but because of his age cannot be #2's father. Horace reappears in Walpole in the 1840 Census and then in the 1860 Census in Charlestown, NH. Another man, a Horace Deen (alias Horace C. Dean) is listed in 1850 in Claremont, but he is older with a different wife and children. Ellen's father, Horace R. Deane died at Claremont on 10 DEC 1884 at age 82, a farmer, of prostration. The 1850 Census shows his wife as Clarissa, b. about 1811 in NH. In the original proprietor's records of Claremont, a reference is made to posting a notice for a meeting of the town proprietors. The records mention posting a copy of this notice at the tavern of Horace Dean, in Claremont, on 15 NOV 1845. The other Horace Dean had a prominent farm in town, so that it is possible that the tavern belonged to this Horace. Children Ellen , b. 1842 at Walpole, NH, Mason; m.

ROSTER: Men of Charlestown, NH - 14th Regiment Civil War >From the History of Charlestown, NH by Rev. Henry H. Saunderson FOURTEENTH N.H. INFANTRY The Fourteenth was the last of the three years regiments raised in New Hampshire on call of President Lincoln for five hundred thousand men which followed the reverses of the Virginia campaign in l862. It was composed of intelli- gent and patriotic volunteers who appreciated the value of the nation, and did not shrink from the great conflict which was going on for its preservation. They first did good service at Washington for a year and a half. Then were ordered to the army of the Gulf and were at New Orleans; from there they were ordered to the Shenandoah Valley and participated under Sheridan in its conflicts. Their last service was at Savannah and in that region in the final scenes of the war. The history of this regiment cannot be given here, but I will say that its record is most honorable to the state and the companies that composed it. Rev. H. H. Saunderson. p.646 John ASHEY enlisted Jan 4, l864 in Co. I for three years - mustered our July 8, l865. Lewis ASHEY enlisted Jan 5, l864 in Co. G., for three years - mustered out July 8, l865.

<A HREF="http://www.valley.net/~connriver/NatReg.htm">National Register Properties</A> Claremont, NH Claremont City Hall (Claremont Opera House) [N07-7] Claremont Multiple Resources: Downtown Historic District [N07-25] <<< Claremont Multiple Resources: Lower Village Historic District [N07-26] <<< David Dexter House [N07-17] Hunter Archaeological Site [N07-13] Monadnock Mills [N07-23] William Rossiter House [N07-19] Union Episcopal Church (English Church) [N07-3] Warehouse No 34 [N07-22]

Can anyone shed light on the records referred to in the following or if Claremont did confiscate property. In a Nova Scotia document on "Cape Breton Genealogy and History" it is stated that because of their Loyalist leanings and association with the Rev. Rana Cossitt, who was one of the agents for the New Hampshire proprietors, "Records show that the farm of John and Jeremiah Spencer was confiscated by Claremont, NH in 1778". My research shows that John was active on various town committees through 1784. Both men signed the NH Declaration of Independence in 1776. Jeremiah was in a NH unit during the war. Both applied for the free 1000 acres in Cape Breton. John did go to and settle in Cape Breton in 1785. Because of the land scheme perpetrated by Gov. DesBarres and Rev. Cossitt he did not get title to any land until well after 1808. Jeremiah looked at the land and decided it was not for him and finally settled in PA. Letters indicate that Jeremiah did have financial troubles during the late 1700’s because of the weather and bad crops. Thanks, Ed d bad crops. Thanks, Ed=20
